Next week, Apple is going to release iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, and watchOS 6.2 to the public. Before that can happen, though, the company has to release the Golden Master of the software to developers.
For the most part, Apple’s iPhone sports one of the best software keyboard experiences on the market today, but that certainly doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for improvement.
Those looking to augment their jailbroken iPhone’s typing experience are likely to enjoy a new jailbreak tweak release called Keyboard Plus by iOS developer Ryan Nair. As the tweak’s name implies, Keyboard Plus brings new features and improvements to the native keyboard experience, with the goal of making typing on your iPhone an even nicer experience than it is already.
Most people use their iPhone’s App Switcher as a means of quickly returning to a recently-used application, but the current interface certainly leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you like what you see on the iPad.
If you find yourself in this situation a lot, then you might be interested in a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Custom SW by iOS developer mustafa89. As shown in the screenshot examples above, Custom SW provides users with a plethora of ways to augment the appearance and usability of the iPhone’s native App Switcher.
According to some iOS 14 code strings, it would appear that only a pair of upcoming new iPhone models might include a new time-of-flight 3D sensor on the back that will improve photography, augmented reality and power new features like object and environment scanning.
It was only last week that we showed you a neat and quirky extension for the BottomToolBar jailbreak tweak called Activity-BottomToolBar that, as the name implies, adds an Activity-based display to the BottomToolBar interface. But if you’re a BottomToolBar user who demands more from the parent tweak, then you just might be in luck.
Enter Weather-BottomToolBar, yet another extension for the BottomToolBar tweak to be released by iOS developer XCCiao. And as you might have inferred already by the name and the screenshot example above, this add-on integrates a Weather-centric display into the BottomToolBar interface.
If there’s one thing that’s been around since the dawn of the iOS jailbreak community, it’s the concept of quick application launchers. We’ve witnessed a plethora of different concepts in this department over the years, but one of the latest is a jailbreak tweak being called B3rry by iOS developer MegaDev.
As you can discern for yourself in the screenshot example above, B3rry permits users to configure up to four apps that will appear on the Lock screen at all times for faster access. The app launcher interface appears just beneath the Camera and Flashlight toggle buttons, and right below that, a complimentary and fully customizable waveform-like animation mesmerizes the user at idle.
The checkra1n jailbreak is driven by a powerful bootrom exploit that can’t be patched with a software update from Apple, and with that in mind, it’s easy to see why some people may opt to use checkra1n over some of the other jailbreaks available, such as unc0ver for example.
While it’s a great jailbreak, Windows users have relentlessly expressed dissatisfaction about having to borrow friends’ Macs or run Linux on their machines. With no certain ETA for a Windows-based checkra1n release, third parties are now cooking up interesting solutions. One is Ra1nbox, a small and portable box powered by a NanoPi Neo2 that can be used to deploy the checkra1n jailbreak from anywhere without the need for a computer.
Whether you’re jailbroken on iOS 13 by way of checkra1n or unc0ver, chances are you’re looking for new and innovative ways to make your handset stand out from the crowd.
In this roundup, we’ll discuss all the latest jailbreak tweak releases from Monday, March 9th to Sunday, March 15th. As usual, we’ll kick things off by talking about our favorite releases first and then wrap things up with an outline of the rest afterward.
Electra Team lead developer CoolStar took to Twitter late last night to announce that the Chimera jailbreak tool for iOS 12.0-12.4 had been updated to version 1.4.0.
It’s the first update to be released for the aging Chimera jailbreak since last September, and despite multiple teasers for Chimera13, an alleged iOS 13-supported version of the Electra Team’s jailbreak tool, CoolStar recently pulled the plug on plans to launch it.
YouTube has been toying around with the idea of an "Explore" tab for quite some time, and now the company is finally rolling it out to all mobile users.
Learn how to navigate around iPadOS, select menus, click items, toggle buttons, scroll lists, and control your iPad by using the physical keyboard, with no screen touching required.
Your iPhone includes a native feature known as Reachability that makes it easier to operate your device with just one hand. It works by sliding the handset’s interface down to thumb level, making it so that you can tap objects that would typically reside at the very top of your screen.
As useful as Reachability can be, Apple assumes one size fits all and that their out-of-the-box experience will be right for everyone. Fortunately, jailbreakers can now take advantage of a newly released jailbreak tweak called Ability by iOS developer Ethan Whited to tailor the native Reachability interface to your needs.
